Sedation and General Anaesthesia

Sedation at the dentist office can enhance the patient experience by reducing anxiety, minimizing discomfort and ensuring successful completion of necessary dental treatments. It is administered under the supervision of a trained anaesthetist to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the patient. Alternatively, children may be seen and treated under general anaesthesia or gas sedation in a hospital environment.
The patients who usually require sedation or general anaesthesia have severe dental anxiety, complex procedures, sensitive gag reflex, special needs patients and invasive surgery.
